Here is what may be my unpopular opinion. As a former sports card collector I actually don’t want numbered cards to come to the Pokémon card world. The reason why is set building. You basically make it impossible to complete sets when you start making too many variants and serial numbered cards. Will it make those cards worth more? Yes. But will it make the other cards worth less? Absolutely. Short printed variants are good to chase so long as they are attainable.

I think there’s still a lot of value in English and less risk. Especially with tik tok deals.

@@fernandomarroquin8901 but a lot of the artists don’t do signings for that reason, or simply can’t do events for various reasons - so my thought is this could be a digitally-imposed signature on a few of the cards thrown into random packs, featuring the artists own flair, not unlike the stamped promos. I imagine that would be fun for the artists too, as many of them could design their own logo signatures if they wanted for specific sets that their art is featured in specifically for this purpose (consider some of Arita’s cards from Unified Minds, having a super rare alt version emblazoned with his signature in a bold pink and purple metallic foil that compliments the set identity). They wouldn’t have to physically sign, it could be like promo stamps. But I understand where you’re coming from - I’m just thinking of creative things that wouldn’t impact the meta of the game, but could be an awesome opportunity for fans opening the products, making it that much more potentially thrilling while celebrating the artist. For example, pulling the 151 Blastoise embellished with Mitsuhiro Arita’s signature would make me burst into tears. They could even make it more discreet, not so in your face, by formatting it to fit in the space the artist attributions already are. I’m thinking this into being obviously. 😂

The quality for charizard (151) is a nightmare. why are people paying hundred of dollars to pull any PSA 9 or under quality cards when you can buy the single less than 40 dollars in most cases

As ridiculously hard it is to complete the set with the master balls in mind... we also need to remember what TCG's are. They are TRADING card games. You aren't meant to be able to complete the set by opening boxes upon boxes. You are meant to open an amount you are happy with and then trade with others to complete the sets. People also need to remember that it is not a race, completing these sets (especially of this calibre) should be a long term journey that you can enjoy. Go to card events or join online groups for trades! Don't spend your life savings completing these sets!

Hi Danny, I think it was the correct decision for Pokemon English to not have the Master Ball. It would have made an already short supply in the 151 set to even more demand, not to mention the inevitable card quality decline, this set already has a lot of print lines. Collectors would also go to extreme obsessive levels to get these cards. The other thing would be the set releases afterwards would take a hit. The japanese follow up sets have not performed well including the Shiny Treasures holiday set. Investment fatigue will no doubt take place. The set is good enough as it is, but probably needed one or two alternate art cards that were seriously good-looking and desirable enough to chase. The charizard imo is nice but not wonderful. Once again if you make this set 'too good', sets issued after would not have the demand. Demand for Paradox rift is not as high as it should be.

I would like another chase aside from the main hits. Something about the change from yellow to silver is still hitting me the wrong way for English sets. But I was pretty mad when they didn’t have the master ball in the English 151 as well as taking out good chases/hits to use as promos in additional product which Pokémon seems to love to do. I would like to see the premium sets take this approach with the larger main sets staying the same for the most part. Keep the premium sets for the chase/value collectors and the main sets for master sets and competitive players. I would not want the “set” hit rates for what Japanese product has though. It takes away some of the excitement waiting to see what’s in your BB. However I would like to get some of the QC😂. It killed me when that SIR mew and mew 2 were made into a promo. I would also like them to do something with Holos. Make them great again or something. Not just reverse rares getting the upgraded treatment.
